There Will Come A Day (From The Original Motion Picture “The Color Purple”)

No words, no one No shoulder to cry on One voice holds me And lifts me to my feet First steps, new world I've known loss, I've known hurt For this, I've rehearsed The first and final verse It's only a matter of timin' I'm only just survivin' When the clouds break And not a moment too late There will come a day, there will come a day There will come a day, there will come a day There will come a day, there will come a day And I'll be there shining on all day long I smile because it's my time Mm, no one I live and live for today And nothin' more Say what you're gonna say 'cause It's nothin' I haven't heard For days, I've rehearsed The first and final verse It's all a matter of timin' When I'm only just survivin' When the clouds break And not a moment too late There will come a day, there will come a day There will come a day, there will come a day There will come a day, there will come a day And I'll be there shining on all day long And I run And I run And the tears that I cried Never did nothin' for me, uh, yeah And I run And I run And the tears that I cried Never did nothin' for me And I run
